Robert Stupp commented on RAT-209:
----------------------------------
I remember the Gutmann license (SPDX ID {{Gutmann}}), it has 96 characters
(very permissive, but not OSI approved).
> Ignore short files when checking licenses
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: RAT-209
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-209
> Project: Apache RAT
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Sebb
> Priority: Major
>
> A license header is not usually required for short files that have no
> creative content.
> For example
> {code:title=project.css|borderStyle=solid}
> @import url("http://commons.apache.org/style/commons-maven.css";);
> {code}
> It would be useful to be able to -ignore- skip these when listing which files
> don't have headers.
> The criteria for ignoring files could be expressed as file size and/or number
> of lines. The criteria used should be documented on the RAT report.
> Files which don't have headers but which fulfil the criteria could either be
> listed at the end of the report in a separate section from the missing
> headers, or they could be listed in the main file list with a different
> category, e.g. NA.
